What is Privacy Protection Suite?

Privacy Protection Suite is a rogue anti-spyware application – fake spyware remover. It may be installed by trojans, disguised as Video ActiveX codecs (usually Zlob or Vundo), or the user can install it himself by downloading it from the homepage.

Once Privacy Protection Suite gains access to the system, it starts doing its harmful job. Firstly it performs a fake system scan, producing a falsified report. Then it floods the system with pop-up windows. All of these methods are used to mislead the user into believing he is infected and therefore in need of an anti-spyware program. Privacy Protection Suite will also decrease system performance. It might be difficult to do certain tasks.
